JOI-INN CHRIS WOBERMAN, OF BRUSH, COLORADO.

RIVETING-TOOL.

State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inRiveting- Tools, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in a riveting tool, and theobject is to provide means for holding the tool in position within apipe or casing and against the wall or inner surface of the pipe throughwhich the rivet is to be driven and clenched.

The invention consists of certain other novel features of constructionand combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter described andpointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings F igure l is a view in perspective, Fig. 2is a rear view, and Fig. 3 is a detail.

A represents the head, which is practically semicircular in shape, andconnected to the head is a shaft l. A beam or arm 2 is adjustablyconnected to the shaft and is adapted to rest on the top of the pipe orcasing to be riveted for holding the head in the proper position. Acollar 3 is mounted on the shaft to hold the arm in its adjustedposition. The arm is provided on its under surface with teeth 4, whichare engaged by the upper end of the spring member 5, which is pivotallyconnected to the head A. A plate or clip 6, is connected to the front orcurved surface of the head A and is provided with a V-shaped slot 7', inwhich is held the rivet to be driven through the pipe or casing.

IVhen it is desired to connect two sections of a pipe or casing togetherthe head is inserted in the pipe the desired distance and the arm 2 isadjusted along the shaft l for supporting the head within the pipe thedesired distance. The spring member 5 is brought into engagement withthe teeth on the arm, which causes the spring member to Specification ofLetters Patent.

bend outwardly and against the wall of the pipe or casing, therebyholding the head against the wall of the casing` through which the rivetis to be driven. 1With a light blow of the hammer the rivet can belocated and after the rivet is forced through the pipe or casing, a fewmore blows applied will clench it. Thistool can be made in differentsizes to suit different requirements, and the spring member will alwayshold the head against the wall or inner surface of the pipe whereby therivet can be driven through two sections of pipe.

It is evident that more or less slight changes might be made in the formand arrangement of the several parts described without departing fromthe spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to belimited to the exact construction herein set forth, but z- Having fullydescribed my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

l. A riveting tool comprising a head, a shaft connected to the head, anarm adjustably connected to the shaft, a spring member connected to thehead adapted to be brought into engagement with the arm for holding thehead in position for the riveting operation and means on the head forcarrying the rivet.

2. A riveting tool comprising a head, a shaft connected to the head, anarm adjustably connected to the shaft, teeth on the arm, a spring memberpivotally connected to the'head adapted to engage the wall of the pipefor holding the head against the opposite wall and the free end of themember engaging the teeth on the arm and a plate on the head forcarrying the rivet.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in the presence of twowitnesses.
